Thank you for you response. My house design is very spread out and all walls are sound insulated, so the wifi signal has issues in several areas. If I keep the CAX80 in router mode, how far away should I place the Orbi AX6000 router. Also, should I enable AP mode in the Orbi router?

If you keep the CAX in router mode, use AP mode on the Orbi system.
You'll need to figure out what works best for the Orbi system and RBS placement. Building materials can effect singal between the RBR and RBS.

Thank you again. I will play with it this weekend. I will let you know how it works out and if I run in to any issues, I'm sure I'll be asking more questions.
